Volunteers & Mentors

Share Time, Skills, and Care—With Intention

THRIVE ON! welcomes volunteers and mentors who want to contribute in ways that are grounded, respectful, and aligned with community leadership.

​

Volunteering and mentoring here is not about saviorism or one-off help. It’s about showing up with humility, consistency, and a willingness to learn alongside young people and grassroots leaders.

How Volunteers & Mentors Get Involved

Opportunities are shaped around real needs across our programs and projects. Roles may include:

​

  • Mentoring Early Thrivers
    Offering guidance around career pathways, skills, or life transitions.

  • Project Support
    Supporting community-rooted projects through Rootwork (research, coordination, facilitation, logistics).

  • Food & Community Initiatives
    Helping with markets, kitchens, distributions, or community events when support is needed.

  • Professional Skills Support
    Sharing skills such as communications, finance, design, facilitation, data, or operations.

Some roles are short-term.
Some are ongoing.
All are relationship-based and scoped with care.

What Mentorship Looks Like Here

Mentorship at THRIVE ON! is about walking alongside, not directing.

​

We ask mentors to:

  • Respect youth leadership and lived experience

  • Offer guidance without control

  • Commit to consistency and follow-through

  • Understand the systems youth are navigating

  • Ask questions as often as they give advice

 

Mentors are supported by THRIVE ON! staff and are never expected to carry responsibility alone.

You do not need to be an expert.
You do need to be reflective, reliable, and respectful.

Get Started

We don’t place volunteers or mentors immediately.
We start with alignment.

​

Use the form below to tell us:

​

  • What you’re interested in offering

  • How much time you realistically have

  • Whether you’re drawn to mentoring, volunteering, or both

  • Any skills or experience you’d like to share

 

We’ll follow up when opportunities align.

Volunteers & Mentors – Interest Form

Share a bit about yourself and how you’re interested in getting involved. This form helps us understand alignment and follow up when opportunities arise.

Areas of Interest

What Happens Next

After you submit:

  • We review alignment and current needs

  • We follow up when there’s a good fit

  • We set clear expectations before any engagement begins

 

Not everyone is placed immediately—and that’s okay. We prioritize right fit and sustainability.

When offered with care, volunteering and mentorship can strengthen people, projects, and communities alike.
Thank you for considering being part of this work.
